NOFLEX NYC
NOFLEX NYC is perfect for tech enthusiasts and night owls, bringing the essence of Seoul’s nightlife to NoMad. As visitors step inside, they are welcomed by an impressive 72-foot LED wall showcasing dynamic digital art, with color-changing tables and a cutting-edge sound system that enhances the sensory experience. We were invited to check out the space and the menu and loved the loungey and delicious vibes (plus the fantastic service). The menu offers an eclectic mix of pan-Asian small plates, dishes perfect for sharing, and creative cocktails, celebrating the richness of Asian culinary heritage. The cocktail list features a fun lineup of delightful flavors with cheeky names like the Gangnam Sour and the Jeju Margarita, influenced by the restaurant’s Korean roots.

SushiDelic
Looking for one of the cutest sushi spots you’ll ever find? SushiDelic serves up that and so much more, artfully merging culinary innovation with whimsical aesthetics. Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Soho, the restaurant distinguishes itself with Kawaii-inspired decor designed by the acclaimed Sebastian Masuda. During our media visit, we marveled at all of the little details, from the decor, to the props, and the colorful food. Visitors are greeted by “Monster Girl” hostesses who set the tone for a SushiDelic adventure with panache. The menu is a culinary exploration of Japanese delights, showcasing both omakase and a la carte options. Each dish at SushiDelic is made to tantalize the taste buds but also captivate the eyes, with cocktails presented in bespoke glassware, including the Lovely in Pink, a refreshing concoction of shochu and fruit.
